TRAINING OVERVIEW 

PRODUCT LINE TRAINING 


Main Goal: At the end of a product line training course, attendees shall be able to understand the complex nature of 

the most common machines and systems onboard a general rig or vessel. 

Course Participants: Open-to-all. Crews from various customers (rigs/ vessels) can participate in the same course. 

Course Preparation: Each Product Line Course is a standard course covering: 

Operation and Maintenance Instructions in the same course. 

The most common versions of equipment and systems on a general rig or vessel. 

Customers may request different dates (6 student minimum). 

RIG SPECIFIC TRAINING 

Main Goal: At the end of a rig specific training course, attendees shall be able to understand the complex nature of 

the equipment and systems on board a specific rig or vessel. 

Course Participants: Crew training exclusive to one client – one specific rig/ vessel only (8 - 10). 

Course Preparation: Rig specific courses cover the specific equipment and systems on a particular rig or vessel. 

They are specifically prepared and designed for the actual equipment and belonging control system the customer has 

purchased. The majority of courses are either: Hydraulic/ Mechanical Courses, Operator Courses or Electro 

Technical Maintenance Courses 

Training schedules can be adjusted to meet customer requirements. A customer may request a complete, tailor-made 

training package on several types of equipment and/ or systems and the courses will be presented sequentially – all 

in one sitting (reduces travel costs and time away from work). Rig Specific training 

AMPHION AND CYBERBASE SIMULATORS 

NOV’s customers have the opportunity to request and purchase rig specific simulator software to be developed and 

installed in one of NOV’s drilling simulators. 

The Kristiansand and Stavanger facilities offer advanced practical simulator training for Cyberbase operations. 

The Houston facility offers advanced practical simulator training for Amphion and Cyberbase operations. 

Brazil has Amphion and Cyberbase simulators. 

The realistic training environment can be set up to replicate the customer’s rig. 

From the drill chair, learners practice how to operate the various types of on-board drilling equipment. 

RIG CONSULTANTS 

Our Rig Consultants have experience on offshore rotary drilling installations, including Jackup style rigs, 

semisubmersible D.P. floating platforms drill ships, and various types of Land Drilling Rigs. The Consultants will 

deliver on site, one to one training and assessment in the safe and efficient operation of various NOV products. They 

will supervise, guide, and train operators and maintenance personnel to help them gain the skills necessary to 

operate and maintain NOV equipment. In order to maintain worldwide availability, the Rig Consultants are current on 

HUET, OPTI, TWIC and Safe Gulf Certifications, Well Control certifications, and Falk Alford safety training. 

Rig consultants work directly with the rig crew and provide daily reports of training covered, assessments on their 

progress, and recommendations for improving the safety and efficiency of equipment operations. Additional 

classroom training can be provided upon request. 

OFFSHORE/ONSITE INSTRUCTION 

Training Instructors will deliver on site, one to one training and assessment in the safe and efficient operation of 

various NOV products. Instructors will monitor, train, and guide operators and maintenance personnel to help them 

gain the skills necessary to operate and maintain NOV equipment. Refresher training for existing crew is also 

available; this can help to improve safety and efficiency of rig operations. 


MOBILE TRAINING SOLUTIONS (USA ONLY) 


NOV’s mobile classroom can comfortably accommodate up 

to 10 students for training at your site. This climatecontrolled 

facility is equipped with all the features you would 

expect to find in a traditional classroom. It provides a quiet 

environment on site for delivering theoretical concepts which 

are followed by hands-on sessions using your equipment. 

Other benefits of the mobile classroom are: 

Significant time savings - training is done on site 

and reduces crew time away from operations. 

Significant cost savings - eliminates travel time and expense, making it cost effective to train more people. 

Provides a flexible schedule; get training when you need it. 

Concepts learned in the classroom can be immediately used on your equipment.

programs, the NOV simulation system uses actual tools and screen software code that is run on an actual rig. This 

creates a very realistic training environment for the rig operators.
